Calgary Fingerprinting Services (Ink & Digital)

Where do I go for Fingerprinting in Calgary?

Effective May 1, 2010, the Calgary Police Service no longer provides non-criminal fingerprinting services to the public for all civil matters such as immigration, employment, name changes, international adoptions and pardons unless it is a vulnerable sector search (Click Here Calgary Police Website).

You must attend an authorized agency for non-criminal fingerprinting services in Calgary. Our company, the Canadian Legal Resource Centre Inc. is an RCMP Accredited and Certified Fingerprinting agency and has processed tens of thousands of fingerprints. If you have any questions or would like to make an appointment, please contact us.

RCMP Processing Times

All fingerprinting agencies use the same technology that allows us to take and submit fingerprints to the RCMP instantly.

RCMP handles all requests received on a first-come first serve basis. They do not accept requests for emergency.

No fingerprint agency can promise faster processing than another fingerprint agency.

What does a Criminal Record Check Reveal?

A criminal record check completed in Canada reveals one of the following:

criminal convictions and related information found in the RCMP database;

pardoned or suspended criminal record (if ordered under the Privacy Act); or

confirmation that NO criminal record exists.

Related information may include discharges (which stay on your record for 1 year if absolute or 3 years if conditional), withdrawn/dismissed charges and stay of proceedings. All local police voluntarily register most convictions and related information in the RCMP database.
